1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The present work evaluates the influence of two prebiotic formulations-P1 (ColonX) and P4 (a product containing AnXietate extract), at concentrations of 3 and 6 mg/L-on scopolamine (SCOP, 100 μM)-induced cognitive dysfunction and anxiety-related behaviors in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). To assess behavioral alterations, wild-type fish were subjected to the novel tank assay (NTT), Y-maze study, and novel object recognition test protocol (NOR). The formulations were examined for potential anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity. In parallel, in vitro assays were performed to evaluate cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory effects. The results indicate that both prebiotic formulations effectively mitigated SCOP-induced behavioral impairments and improved cognitive performance in zebrafish. Furthermore, the prebiotic formulation P4 showed significant anti-inflammatory activity without inducing cytotoxicity. The study was conducted following ethical guidelines, ensuring scientific rigor and integrity. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of prebiotics in alleviating anxiety and cognitive deficits, with promising implications for the management of neuropsychiatric disorders.
